2013 Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Maryland won the opening coin toss which turns out to be the only catagory they won this week as Wake Forest completely dominated them on the field. Allowing the opening drive to result in a FG that would be all the points Maryland would get.

Wakes rushing game once again could not be stopped, Freshman HB J. Williams rushed for 249 yards on 30 attempts for an 8.3 average scoring 3 TDs, breaking out 2 50+ yarders. Backup HB J. Anderson also had a dominating performance rushing for over 124 yards on 12 attempts scoring 1 TD. Stewart also had a great game throwing 10/15 for 142 yards and 3 TDs.

Defensively the Demon Deacons shut down Maryland for the most part, they were able to get great pressure resulting in 7 sacks on the day. 2 Huge turnovers also helped, one resulting in a TD the other giving great field position for Wake.
Overall Coach Wellar is very satisfied with the big W today at home giving his team confidence going into next weeks tough matchup against Clemson.

After pulling off a major upset in week 5 taking out the number #1 Clemson team with a last second FG to win the game as time expires, Wake was up against #2 Florida State. No doubt Wake Forest has one of the toughest schedules in the NCAA but coming into the season unranked the Demon Deacons look to capitalize on this opportunity.

The Seminals won the opening coin toss and in my opinion made a poor choice to kick off the game as Wake marched down the field capping off a 48 yard run by FR HB James Williams. Down by 7 late in the 2nd quarter Florida State looked to tie it up before the half but they threw there first on 4 INTs on the day, this one resulting in a pick 6.

In the second half Florida State looked to make a comeback, scoring a TD then forcing Stewart to throw a bad pass resulting in a pick 6 for the Seminals tying the ball game back up. From this point on Wake did not look back. Late in the 3rd quarter on a 3rd and 14 Wake was looking to run the ball and take the 3 points making it a 2 possession game but James Williams had other plans, breaking free for a 21 yard TD run. Williams scored 1 more TDs rushing for 200 Yards on 22 Attempts scoring 4 total TDs.

Wakes defence played great, they struggled to stop the run early on but they were successful in causing huge turnovers, 2 in the red zone. Controlling the ball nearly 2/3s of the game Wake dominated #2 Florida State winning their second consecutive big upset 52-31
